  1. 6 THINGS TO DO IMMEDIATELY ABOUT INTEROPERABILITY IN HEALTHCARE www.capminds.com

  2. Introduction • Achieving interoperability in healthcare has been a hot trend in health IT and the healthcare providers are searching for the best strategies to better access patient’s complete medical records. • The health IT leaders should also think about how interoperability improves patient’s experience and how to save them time.

  3. Interoperability: A Powerful Healthcare Tool • The healthcare providers care more about their patient’s health and their time. • What can interoperability do for patients? • The term interoperability should be defined as a powerful healthcare tool to help achieve prioritized organisations goal for medical practices and patients.

  4. 1. Set An Effective Strategy To Improve Interoperability • The first step in defining an effective strategy is deciding what you want to achieve from your data. • Then you need to align your priorities and necessities, to enjoy the greatest value from your data. • Finally make the right decisions that optimise processes for your strategy. • For example, a healthcare organisation can partner with hundreds of healthcare providers throughout the country to manage their quality data which helps to improve healthcare interoperability.

  5. 2. Adoption Of Standard Terminology • The first and foremost thing healthcare organizations need to know where they stand relative to the adoption of standard terminology. • If your organization has a long history of adopting standard terminology in its core business practices, you are in a much better place to take advantage of interoperability technology.

  6. 3. Dedicated Team Of Experts • Healthcare IT leaders should continuously invest in their teams to regularly upgrade their skills as emerging technology trends continue to evolve, including API-based standards, FHIR or artificial intelligence/machine learning. • With a strong team, an organization can create an enterprise interoperability strategy that gives equal weight to technology as well as the people behind it.

  7. 4. Interoperability For Value-Based Care • The value-based care can create a better experience for patients, and providers can get rewarded for better outcomes. • Ideally, a system will know what the practice needs to do for each member of its population and at, each encounter, reach out to the network to pull in the right information, at the right time, into the right workflow.

  8. 5. Interoperability For Better Patient Outcomes • CIOs need to understand that clinicians do not want interoperability technology simply to have more data. • Clinicians need solutions that deliver clean, organized and actionable data • Without having to search through clinical spam to find the precise information they need for clinical decision-making.

  9. 6. Interoperability Technologies  • Data formats: There are many data format standards to accommodate. • For example, claims data follows the X12 structure. Lab data follows the HL7 structure. • EHR data may follow HL7/CCDA/FHIR structure. On top of that, each “standard” format may be customized. • A robust interoperability practice needs to manage different types of interfaces and file formats as well, including HL7, FHIR and X12.

  10. 6. Interoperability Technologies  • Frequency and volume of interfaces:   • In order to effectively manage a wide range of interoperability projects, an organization should define standard approaches to managing the frequency and volume of interfaces, including daily, monthly and batch versus real time.

  11. Conclusion • With the help of advanced technologies available in healthcare industry today, the physicians and healthcare providers not only match patient records, but readily share medical data necessary for decision making. • Many providers miss opportunities to leverage interoperability solutions due to lack of IT resources.
